A farmer near Hudson, Mich.,' got his wife to help hlm lower his moving machine from the barn loft, where 1t had been stored. He fastened rope to it, and pass ing it over pulley asked his wife to hold the end until he descend ed. She had just taken a hitch with the rope around her waist when the mower crushed down to the floor and simultaneously. she shot up where the mud-wasps do their nest hiding. There has been only one subject of conversation in that family since, and she has done all the talking.

To punish a horse for shying introduces a new cause for fear. The horse will be more alarmed and show more tokens of fear at the prospect of whipping than at the imaginary object of danger in the road. Hence one bad habit is confirmed by the introduction of another. It is impossible to whip terror out of horse or pound courage into one. Kind ness and gentle persuasion are the best weapons to correct the per nicious habit of shying. The less fear exhibited by the driver, and the less notice taken of the shying by using harsh means, the sooner it will be given up.

From the South.

Sheriff Turner and George Whitmore
arrived from Ketchum' rancho at Bur
bank, Utah, last evening, having in
charge the remains of L. R. Ketchum,
and accompani' by H. H. Pearson
Jr., and Dell Hickman, the young man
who, it is alleged, shot and killed
Ketchum. The body was conveyed to
Sexton Taylor's, where it will remain
until the arrival of MIR. Ketchum s
brother from AtchIson, Kansas, who, it
is expected, Will be here to-day or to-
morrow.
An examination into the causes of
the tragedy will be held before the Com
missioner at Provo during the begin
nmg of next week. No further par
liculars than those already published in
these columns could be obtained from
either the Sheriff or Mr.. Whitmore. 1t
was limited, yesterday, by friend of
Ketchum's, however, that an examine
ton would show that he was not really
80. culpable as the evidence so far ad-
duced would go to show.
The body of Green, the young man
killed by Ketchum, also arrived on the
evening train, and was taken to the
residence OF his parents in the Seventh
Ward, this city.

holds the post of instructor in the Turk
ish army, was present recently at the
outpost exercise of a rifle corps at Lub-
ben, where some very interesting ex-
Periments were made with dogs trained
for keeping up communications in time
OF war. GOltz Pasha was surprised and
pleased at the performances of the dogs,
and expressed conviction that the in
PRODUCTION OF such a service in the Asiatic
mountain districts of Turkey would be
most advantageous. He considers the
Asiatic shepherds dogs especially fitted
for this service in places where horses
cannot be used.

THE question is coming up in the
States as to whether typewriter sigma
lures are legal. Owing to the vast
amount of matter written by typewriting
machines it is not unlikely that an occa-
sional signature to an important docu-
ment viii be found to have been made
in this way. 4 legal authority OF note
gives it as mis- opinion that the intention
of the law is to regard such signatures
as simply evidence that the maker OF
the document wished it to be valid. The
law would not, therefore, bear so much
upon how the maker signed it as to
whether he signed it all. a mans name
written in his own handwriting is evil
dence that it is his signature. 4 type
written signature is no evidence in itself
that it was written by the person whose
signature it purports to be. 1t would
seem, in view of these facts, that the
signature would be good enough in ordi-
nary cases, but would require evidence
to prove that it is what il pretends TO he.

Prisoners, Peculiar sunerst,t,on.

The prisoners in the jail have peculiar
superstition regarding one of the stones in
the jail floor. 1t is down on the east side,
and in the morning about exercise hour
the sun falls straight upon it. The super
stitiOus ones believe that when one of the
men charged with murder steps on that
stone 1t indicates N some way, supposedly
by change of color, whether the man
win be hung or not. l have been in
formed that it's assure sign, and that
the indication has never once been found
to be wrong. The negroes believe that
every man at whose step that stone
changed to dark color went out in the
back yard, which means that he was
hung.-Jailer in Globe Democrat

Round whom the great storms daTken; in whose
Their thunders roar; whose straining limbs, that
strive
Strongly against their fate, are dTeucned with
foam,
Through breaches of the rollers seem to hear,
Far inland where the sunlit plains extend.
The fittings of the shepherds and the cries
or harvest jewellers, a gracious strain:
Some rare stop briefly touched along the pipe
Of ocean song for now again the storm
Darkeus and deafens them No more they toiks
The cords and sails are shaken by the wind
Cnheeded over them: the tall mastS strain
The vessels laboring sides. but wind or rain
Or wave shall do them no more violence
Who lie at rest forever. Now the singer
Finds Joy of song unmarried, now love remains
Forever true, and youth forever young.

In some districts of England the prac
tice Of taking opium is said to be very
prevalent. Recently a case was re-
ported from Liverpool, in which the
wife of baker had contracted the evil
habit. Her usual three-pennyworth
failing to procure sleep, she sent for an
other, which, taken on top of the first,
effectually prevented her from waking
any more in this world. a boy seems
to have been sent in each case, and no
objection made to serving him, nor does
it seem that the chemist in question did
anything out of the way in supplying
the drug )ne writer, commenting on
the case, declares that Gin North Wales
lsudanum is sold as freely as if it were
as innocuous as ginger beer" but this
must surely be an exaggeration.
